Very long version string cause an error when loading

[rtmclay]

I have updated the testing branch on github to handle long number strings differently. Please use the testing branch to see if it works for you.

• Re-verified issue was triggered with currently installed Lmod version (8.7.15)

• Cloned and switched to testing branch

• Verified correct branch by checking that git log listed Issue Issue #662

• Built and installed test version ( Lmod says 8.7.29 )

• Switched Lmod versions:

  >>:~/Lmod> module --version
  
  Modules based on Lua: Version 8.7.15  2022-12-19 15:03 -06:00
      by Robert McLay mclay@tacc.utexas.edu
  
  >>:~/Lmod> source /opt/apps/lmod/8.7.29/init/bash
  >>:~/Lmod> module --version
  
  Modules based on Lua: Version 8.7.29  2023-07-10 17:58 -06:00

  >>:~/Lmod>

• See if the long version number "9d0930560903608993972840" will load

  >>:~/testNewLmod/modulefiles> module avail
  
  --- /home/suse/testNewLmod/modulefiles ----

     testmodule/branch.60200614194619_w9d0930560903608993972840ea4qw4d9bb0443-debug (D)

    Where:
     D:  Default Module
  
  If the avail list is too long consider trying:
  
  "module --default avail" or "ml -d av" to just list the default modules.
  "module overview" or "ml ov" to display the number of modules for each name.
  
  Use "module spider" to find all possible modules and extensions.
  Use "module keyword key1 key2 ..." to search for all possible modules matching any of the "keys".
